What happens when a woman is groped - or worse - in a train car that isn't women-only? Will she be blamed for not taking advantage of the "safe" space provided? (After all, women are all too used to being blamed when it comes to assault, questioned as to why they were out on their own/wearing a short skirt/drinking.)

If we're going to make women safe, let's make them safe everywhere - not just in designated areas.

What do you think? Do women-only buses sound like a good idea for U.S. cities? Or do they merely skirt (ahem) the real issue?
